07/31/11 Camping at SUU and Holly sprays Katie awake

7/31/2011

Well it's the fifth Sunday so Dad had to go in at 7 a.m. but I get the morning off!!! So I made strudel cake for breakfast and kailua pork and rolls for dinner. I sure like having the morning off!!!

Dallas has to talk today in church. On the pioneer trek. Lucky kid. I attached his talk if you are interested. I think he'll do fine. He said he might even wear his pioneer outfit...we'll see.

Time is flying...school starts in just a couple short weeks now. Bryce is almost done his summer ag program. I think Monday and Tuesday next week might be it.

Holly has her first ever camp out next week. Katie's second or third...can't remember. Anyway we are going up Cedar Mountain and staying at the SUU lodge (wussy camping...indoor on the floor of the lodge). It'll be fun though.

The kids are kind of full of it today. Holly woke up early and helped me with the baking and then she took a spray bottle and woke up Katie 'cause she was bored. Hmmmm....well you can imagine how that went! Needless to say there is a little bedlam in the house right now.

Kind of a quiet week for church. Only had 1 or 2 girls in church last Sunday and cancelled Wednesday because Friday was the Temple trip. Only ended up having Nikki Turner to that so she went with the boys. So I guess I've kinda had the week off. It was nice! Been trying to reconnect with my girlies cause I feel like I've been so tired or busy lately that they aren't getting enough of me! Friday afternoon we took the play-doh toys and made cookies and decorated them. Personally I think they are yucky but the girls sure had fun doing it. And they are almost gone so somebody's eating them.

Bryce wants me to cut his hair...so I guess I better run.

I can't wait to hear all about your week...new companion...etc!!!! We were so hopeful to get some news on the website from your mission mama....and there was a nice pix of you...but NO NEWS!!!!! Aaaaahhhhh well. You looked happy and well!!! That's always good!

Take care. Love you lots!!! mom.

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head". I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time. Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class. We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!! Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
